Hi
Recently I purchase a new motherboard (D101GCC, 2.66 GHz processor). I am trying to install FC3 but it is very slow. It takes nearly 3 hours to install FC3. My earlier motherboard 845, 2.4 GHz processor was taking 45 minutes. Can anybody help me ?

Would it be possible to try a more recent version of Fedora? Driver support for your motherboard may have improved, and packages will be much more up to date also.

I have tried with FC4 but still the performance is same. On intel site about this motherboard it is mentioned that the processor and motherboard required speciel bus. Can it be a problem.
Thanks

Isnt installation more related to the Disk drive and RAM rather than motherboard and processor?? Besides why ru still trying old FC3. Newer FC's will have more overall support for various hardware. Try installing FC5 and check if its still slow. Come back and post ur full hardware details including info on ur disk (dual booting, partitions etc)

PS: ASk ur hardware vendor about the BUS

Hi
Yes the installation more related to Disk drive and Ram. But because my Disk drive (80 GB) and Ram (512 MB) both are same, the only thing which i changed is motherboard and processor, that's why I was thinking in terms of motherboard and processor. I have tried with FC4, not solved. I didn't check with FC5 but as I listen FC5 is not stable. My hardware spacification is

Disk drive - IDE 80 GB
Ram - 512 MB DDR
Motherboard - D101GCC
Processor - Intel Pentium D Processor
Socket - LGA775
Yes I have dual boot, Using Grub, First 20 GB for WIndow then 10 GB for linux rest of the disk I am using for window and Linux partitions.

Hi ther
You have missed one vital component, Graphics card. Are u experiencing any graphics slowdowns while installing? Is it supporting ur card? wat about network card? wat make is it? Also is ur harddisk clean (before installing have u scanned and defragmented it)?? Ru installing from CD or DVD?? Please give out more details on ur hardware mate. Though im also a newbie, i want to help in my best.

List out these details.
1) Graphics card
2) Network card
3) Monitor
4) DVD (CDROM)

Cheers

Hi
Graphics card - ATI's Radeon Xpress 200
Monitor - LG Studiowork 700E
Cdrom - LG 52x

Not using network.

I tried with Fedora core 5. With FC5 the installation problem is solved. FC5 takes nearly 30 minute to install. I think the problem was with graphics card only. Lower version FC1, FC2, FC3 and FC4 were enable to detect it, they were using VEGA generic driver. But FC5 is detecting the card and installation is enough fast.

But there is another problem with FC5. After installaion I can not start grafix. When i tried to start grafix using startx as well by using grfix mode (inittab) system hangs. Any suggestion ?

Thanks.

Hi
Got success, First i install fc5 in text mode and the before starting grafix, I changed the grfix driver with vesa generic in xorg.conf. Now everthing works well.

Thanks
